Huh? The problem elephants were destroying crops and threatening village food supply so GoDaddy CEO killed one of them. Then the villagers butchered the elephant for food. All is good. Props to Parsons.

How/why the fuck are they spinning this as "rich playboy goes Hemingway in Africa and should be reprimanded"?

[Augenbrauezug]

As an animal activist I don't understand the problem. Was Bob's primary motive to just go big game hunting? Probably, but it's being taken out of context, what he did was a beneficial thing to the community. The only people bitching are the ones so disconnected, to have no idea what this really means.

Blogging about it from a (2) story Starbucks in Studio City, CA that was built with illegal labor, drinking coffee that was "stolen" from it's indigenous people wearing a blood diamond on her finger and driving her Prius which was one of the most non-green cars you can possibly buy.

But it's cool... she now has a cause to talk to her friends about at the "club".

Fuckin hippies I tell you... boo fucking hoo, the guy went hunting.


God I hate left wing media (So yes, all media)

Rich guy 1; Elephant 0

Seriously though yeah it may have been beneficial who knows.

whatever, it's not like he tortured the elephant, hacked off its face, then sold the tusks, all while leaving the elephant to die a slow death.

bill gates probably hides hamsters, so if you're not into that, then maybe you shouldn't buy microsoft products.

apple's coo is gay, so if your name begins with f and ends with red phelps, you best not have any apple products.

maybe the people in zimbabwe wanted it this way, and didn't want to use silly methods like tabasco sauce or chili powder? maybe they just wanted this problem elephant gone, and some food as a side result? growing crops that elephants don't like? you tell the farmers that and see if they totally agree with you. where's peta to defend the people on that plot of land? with bags of chili powder sprinkling it around to thwart elephants...

[scollins]

All those villagers are supporters of PETA:
People Eating Tasty Animals.

I see nothing wrong here. I'm not a fan of "sport" hunting, where the sole purpose is to collect a trophy, but this wasn't "sport" hunting. And, from the looks of it, the ENTIRE elephant carcass was used by the locals for food and materials.

Not to mention bringing in a CEO from a major US company to go big game hunting is cheaper than dousing crops in chili.

Business should go up, considering their target demographic.

But, for real... Good shot, nice prize. I've always wanted to hunt in Africa. I set up a safari for my dad, a coworker and his son to kill time for a week last winter. Unfortunately, it didn't pan out. I hope to make it happen in the next year or so.

I really want to kill some Big 5 animals... Especially a big cat like a lion. Caliber restrictions will mean that at minimum gotta buy a .375H&H. Though, I think a .300 Rem UltraMag would be more practical, but I have no experience seeing the wounding ballistics of either caliber in real life. I'm from PA, we're more of the ".30-06 or bust" crowd. lol

back on-topic: Making big game animals get dead = cool.

Dontchu worry collins. Lots of funnies will turn up in the next 24-48hrs.

I don't get this comment:

Bob Parsons is a very, very little man. Killing an elephant with a gun and standing over it like he's great for doing so shows just little he understands what life really is and what it means to be alive.

This is life. Everything we do is life. That's nature, the food chain. While we're weak, thanks to our brains that made our tools, we are on top of it, and this is now OUR planet. Hell. Yeah. (i am sooo pro-human) (except the dumb ones)
We can kill anything we want, that's life. We can practically glass the planet too (yay nukes!) (don't do that! plz)**

I mean, when I kill a fly, I feel bad for it. I'm not advocating going out and murdering every animal. Just it's not the end of the world when this happens. Also, the godaddy hats were completely ridiculous.

**The only problem with being on top of the food chain is this:
